Actually, the picture that palebluedot "painted" isn't as "bad" as it really sounds. The
key here is this statement:

The truth is, all of our theatres could qualify for THX certification.

So, this basically means the theatres he's speaking of
already have good to great audio equipment, so they don't have a need for THX certification since they
already have "good gear".
Can this statement be made for ALL theaters? Probably not.... Could some theaters use the THX certification process or requirements, at the very least, to determine what kind of "better" audio gear they should acquire? Probably.
I don't see how having great A/V gear that is NOT THX certifiied has any bearing on THX certification at all.
That and everything Chromy wrote....
Peace.....
